Nameless King

"So... Who are you?" The girl asked with a complicated look as she realized she didn't stand a chance against him.

"Wain. I bet you know my name, don't you?" Wain smiled as he glanced at her with a slight smile.

At the same time, the girls' eyes went wide since they realized what a serious mistake they had made. The girls quickly rose to their feet and bowed low as a shiver ran through their bodies.

"I'm sorry, we didn't recognize you... Your aura has changed too much, it's not at all like the one Miss Eva described, it's much scarier... We thought you were an intruder, trespassing into this space." The girl said sincerely, not daring to look up.

"Never mind, just be careful next time. You are guards and your job is not just to watch the passage like watchdogs. You must know who is a friend and who is suddenly as well as learn to better sense the auras of others." Wain said calmly then his gaze became serious.

"What would you do if it wasn't me, but someone who was a real threat? Sure, you'd attack him, but you'd surely lose because you couldn't correctly gauge the enemy's strength. That means that because of your lack of skill, you would have died for nothing, and more importantly, you would have left Eva defenceless." Wain spoke calmly, but his cold voice seemed to pierce the girls' minds as they realized that this could actually happen.

They answered nothing, just lowered their heads in shame. No one had dared to contradict them before, but now, it was even good for them as everyone wanted to get better.

"Agh, I think that's enough. Eva, is in the tower, right?" Wain asked as he glanced at the girl.

"No." To his surprise the girl shook her head, "She is in the eastern part of the space. There's nothing there but wide fields of bloody flowers, so it's the right place for her to sort out her problems."
"Problems? What kind of problems?" Wain's eyebrow rose.

"Miss Eva recently reached the Fifth Chronicle, at first she was fine, but now... She keeps changing like she can't control her emotions, so she's moved away from here." The girl explained as she bit her lip with a frown.

Wain was surprised, but given that he knew Eva's features well, he quickly accepted it and with a slight nod said, "Fine, then I'll try to help her. Keep doing your job and don't forget my words."

Whoooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, Wain's silhouette turned into a wisp of darkness as he headed east in a black flash. He moved very fast as each step he took could leave a small crater on the ground, but Wain created platforms beneath him as if he didn't want to destroy the place.

After a while, he reached the area the girl was talking about and stopped. Ahead were millions of scarlet flowers and nothing else as the strong aroma of the flowers seemingly could be seen from how dense it was.

"Hmm... Where is Eva...?" Wain mumbled thoughtfully as suddenly his eyes went wide due to a random burst of energy that occurred somewhere in the distance.



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Wain immediately headed there as within seconds he saw several bloody rivers flowing from the massive ash island. It wasn't something natural, as the island and the rivers had been created by Eva, who was sitting in the center of it.

'Damn, looks like she's actually having some trouble,' Wain said inwardly looking at Eva.

Though Wain was a few meters away from her, she didn't notice him as she tried to control her energy which was trying to rush out of her body like a raging torrent.

"No!" Eva exclaimed waving her arms as a bloody streak opened on her back. A stream of blood burst from it that turned into another bloody river, then an ashy orb appeared on her arm, releasing several long spears, one of which flew next to Wain's face.

"Well, that was unexpected." Wain muttered touching his cheek as there was blood on his fingertips from the small scratch left by the ashy spear. Then Eva finally noticed him.

"Wain...?" Eva muttered with wide eyes as energy continued to flow out of her randomly.

"Yeah. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Wain showed a slight smile, "I thought our meeting would start with a conversation about me, but it looks like all the focus should be on you now."

"Agh...?" Eva was puzzled, but she quickly realized that Wain's aura was completely different as his gaze changed. She just feel too unwell as she could hardly think.

"What's going on with you? I was told it started after you evolved." Wain turned serious.

"I don't know... After I reached Fifth Chronicle I had a lot more energy as it just seemed endless. I was insanely happy about it, but then I started to feel like I couldn't handle it as well as my emotions. I can change at any time, it's even worse than before because back then I wanted it, now it's just random!" Eva exclaimed in a panic as she looked hopefully at Wain, expecting that he could help her.

Wain was silent for a while before he threw off his coat, leaving only a simple black t-shirt on his muscular torso.

"What are you doing...?" Eva was puzzled, not understanding his intentions at all.

"Well, I could be wrong, but it looks like you're trying to contain both yourself and your energy. It's definitely not right, especially for someone as special as you." Wain's eyes turned cold.

"Agh...? But, if I don't hold back, I'll destroy everything around me!" Eva shouted.

"Fine. Do it. You may be afraid of hurting others, but that's none of my business. Go ahead, let your senses glow, and remember how we fought as immortals, your eyes shone brightest then."

Eva bit her lip to blood as if trying to resist, but Wain's words were too seductive, so after a while her gaze became insane.
